3D printer "OLO" which can be three-dimensionally molded by his own smartphone

A 3D printer that can print three-dimensional objects to anyone has been reduced in price, but devices with familiarity beyond that have appeared. "OLO"Is a device that smartphones become 3D printers just by placing them on the screen.

OLO is a 3D printer that can be placed on a smartphone. The size of the main body is 171 × 115 × 148 mm, the weight is 780 g, it is probably what can be called the world's smallest 3D printer.


It supports terminals up to 5.8 inches in display size, and the printable area is 76 x 128 x 54 mm.


The corresponding smartphone is iOS, Windows Phone, Android, which is a device that can utilize most smartphones all over the world as a 3D printer.


To use it, first put the base on the smartphone ......


Set of cylindrical parts.


And inject the resin which is the material of 3D print into the space ... ...


Place the part called "engine" of the 3D printer.


Then just start printing and wait for completion. Molding is performed based on the data of the 3D model downloaded to the application of the smartphone. In addition, it is said to use 4 AA batteries for operation.


This is the procedure by which the following 3D printing is completed.


Various color models can be output by changing the color of the resin as the material.


In this way, you can also create a glossy gold style model.


Printing resins include white and black in hard mats in matte tones, eight kinds of materials such as flexible material red and yellow, blue, matte tones with plasticity gray, glossy transparent material, silicon-style amber, etc. Types are available.


The state of the inside during operation is like this. Place parts called "building film" on the smartphone ......


Place tubular parts and set up a device called "engine room".


Then put the resin and start printing.


The cut model during printing is like this. The cross section of the model is displayed on the screen of the smartphone, and the resin is cured by the light and molding is carried out. A plate is attached to the tip of two rods extending from the engine room, and gradually raise it upward to hold the model. The resolution of the model is 0.036 mm in the Z axis (vertical direction) and 0.042 mm in the X - Y axis (front - back and left - right) at the maximum, but this depends on the resolution of the screen of the smartphone.


Molding is completed. When I removed the engine room and turned it over, the model showed up.


The actual molded model looks something like this. It is easy to do 3-D printing without large-scale equipment.


The way the OLO actually operates is to be understood by looking at the following movie and so on.


OLO is a cloud funding siteKickstarterWe are looking for investment in. About 80,000 dollars (about 9 million yen) as the target amount, about 387,000 dollars (about 44 million yen) are gathered from more than 3,000 investors around the world at the time of article creation.

The most basic pack is a set of OLO main body and one white resin (White 80) etc, and it is possible to get with a contribution amount of 99 dollars (about 10 1200 yen). The "gift pack" shown in the picture below is a set of two white (White 80) sets, and you can get it for $ 119 (about 13,500 yen).


It is 129 dollars (about 14,500 yen) if it is "PRO-PACK" in which the dedicated carrying case is set for the OLO body and the resin two pieces.


In addition to getting the resin 8 color set for 133 dollars (about 15,000 yen), depending on the investment amount, it is also possible to get a carbon style OLO or golden OLO.


Shipping to Japan requires a separate shipping fee of $ 29 to $ 35 (about 3300 yen - 4000 yen) according to the plan. The deadline of investment is Japan time on April 21, Thursday, Thursday, April 21, 2:18 am, and the shipping time is scheduled around August 2016.
